Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
The Vespa is looking good, price is fine. But the Piaggio really look like a SYM. With that price tag, sales will be slow.
why are scooters more expensive than kapchais?
U can get maxi scooters, but u cant get maxi kapcais.
The retro-styled Vespas will always be the coolest, and the Vespa S 125 i-GET certainly does this job very well. Now, if only some distributors are willing to bring in the latest Lambretta V-Special models to spice up the local scooter market! Vespa vs Lambretta, it doesn’t get any better than that.
Naza pricing ridiculous!
